The women who converged in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital are mostly former political office holders and present party officers of PDP at all levels. They described Oni as the most suitably qualified and competent candidate for the opposition party ahead of the next year’s election.
They promised to mobilize all women delegates in the 177 wards to ensure victory for the former governor and called on the National Working Committee of the party to ensure transparent and fair primaries next year.
